It seems like no matter what you do, bicycles are just too easy to steal. As long as a thief has a bolt cutter or a crowbar, they can get through most locks in a jiffy. Cars have alarms to deter thieves, but why not bikes? Here's an easy, cheap way to create a magnetic bike alarm that will leave thieves fleeing the scene.

You'll probably want a bit of electronics experience to put this together, but it's hardly a complicated project. Essentially, what you're doing is creating a tilt sensor, that when it shifts from one angle to another, sets off a speaker that makes a loud noise, stopping thieves in their tracks. If you aren't super experienced with electronics, you could probably buy a cheap tilt sensor as well, which might take some of the legwork out of the process.
